Babies in Waiting, by Rosie Fiore, is about motherhood, friendship and finding love at the most surprising time in your life. The synopsis says: "Meet Louise, 38, Toni, 26, and Gemma, 18. They are all expecting babies in September. One of them conceived in a hurry because she was running out of time. One of them fell pregnant to keep a man and one got knocked up by mistake after a one-night-stand. But none of them realised what they would come up against as they face nine long months of pregnancy, and the reactions of friends, family and colleagues. Meeting through an online forum, they form an unlikely but powerful bond. When it seems that all they have is each other, their lives will be thrown into turmoil, as a blast from the past threatens to destroy everything." Babies in Waiting is out in March. South African-raised Fiore now lives in London and has written two other novels, This Year's Black and Lame Angel.
